Where would be a decent place that has blended coffee drinks and all the other fine coffee drinks but that wouldn't be a starbucks or second cup.

I love Higher Grounds but I don't have classes today and I am not driving all the way downthere for a frozen mocha haha.

Any coffee places in the south somewhere other than the myriad of Starbucks and Second Cups....

The two best Good Earths in the city are the ones in Crowfoot and in Alberta childrens hospital.

Great staff and management as well as a solid product.

Both serve delicious healthy lunches as well now :thumbsup:

Ah, sorry to hear about that. I didn't run into any problems when I went there. I had a latte and it was pretty good.

I believe Good Earth has a new location on 4th. Corner of the new Health Facility at about 12th ave and 4th St. SW.

Artigiano FTW but I dont think they have coffee slurpees like you're after ... also Kava on 14th is supposed to be dope

I thought Cafe Artigiano was awesome. Kawa is also really good and if you want to try somewhere like Good Earth check out Bumpys behind the Brewsters on 8th and 11th downtown. They have sandwiches, Mac and cheese, soup etc...

Caffe Rosso in Ramsay. 803-24 Ave SE.

http://www.cafferosso.ca

Serves Illy coffee. Quite small but good service and some good baked goods as well. This is the part of Ramsay that should be seeing a bit of a revival.
